On a Mexican street Car.

Although the etiquette of a Mexican
street car is free and easy, and men
smoke inside or on the platform, women
are invariably treated with respect, and
half a dozen men will get up to give
place to any woman, young or old, rich
or poor.
The Mexican gentleman has all the
courtesy for which the Latin races are
famous, and life is smoothed and its
angles rounded by the constant courtesy
OF this most polite nation.
Do not imagine that because people
smoke in the street cars their interiors
resemble the American railway smoker
all filth under foot and the air befouled
with rank cigars and old pipes.
The windows are generally open, and
constant current of air drives the smoke
out.-[Boston Herald.

" Heaven Lies about Us in Our Infancy

What a beautiful and loving delUsion
it is the belief which all mother, or
fathers entertain that there is someti ing
so very extraordinary out their own
baby as to dietinguIsI it from every
other bauy.
Although when 1 come to think Of it
more autentiyely, L am not so sure that
it is q delusiun, after all. II may be
that, instead of having hoodwinked and
blinded u to the imperfeciioHs of our
own children, our Father, and their
Father, has but lent IA new keenuess to
our vision, has but brushed away the
cobwebs and dust that blinded Us, so
that we can see more truly and deeply
into the hidden beauty and mystery
which He has cast uroun each OF His
little ones.
You know what Emerson says, that
infancy is the perpetual Messi h which
comes to the arms OF fallen men, and
pleads with them TO return to Paradise"
And there is a beautiful saying OF old
Jean Paul, of which / often think: The
smallest children" ne says, are near
est God, as the smallest planets are
nearest the sun"
And if it be so, it is no wonder that
we should feel hushed and awed and
thrilled, as we sometimes do, IN the
presence OF little child

The Right Ttme 70 water Horses.

Professor Pritchard, in a recent lee
ture, pointed out that one capital reason
why horses suffer so much from
indigestion I'm cold weather Is the
common practice of allowing them to
drink after feeding heartily.
II the prccaution were taken OF al
lowing them to have their fill Of
water before having their feed OF corn
and other provendcr, they would suffer
far less in his opinion. r. in addition,
the practice of always giving chilled or
lukewarm instead OF cold water to horses,
were always adopted they might be al
lowed TO drink freely as soon as they
come in from the field, although in a
profuse state Of perspiration.

THE COTTAGE BY THE SEA.
someshIng About the DIsiIIusions of Lif.


In my Imagination the cottage by the
sea is always occupied 10y . newly
welded pair: a marvclously handsome
man, Chivalrous as a Scottish knight
and brave as a Numidian lion, and q
dainty little darling in pink and ru1les,
with a coil of sunny hair, and a nature
as shrinking as n violet. She regards
him as a model of perfection, and he
rests scrcn0ly under the impression
that she is faultless.
In real life the husband does not go
on forever assuring his companion that
he " could not live without her, " lavish
ing caresSes, and calling her " sweet;
nor does she always exert herself par
ticulaTiy TO make home pleasant for her
lord and master.
Common humanity cannot exist on
rose leaves and kisses; consequently
he discovers ere long that supporting
a wife demands something more serious
than wearing q buttonhOle bouquet, and
scenting his kerchief with White Rose or
Jockey Club.
She learns that housekeeping is not as
romantic "a she thought at first. That
it doesn't consist altogether of training
the ivy to climb at the east window. and
smiling sweetly at tea. There is work
real drudgery-to be done.
Ere long the rent OF the aforesaid cot
tage by the sea falls due, and it con-
tinues to fall due with startling regu-
larity. That arouses him somewhat
from his dream of happiness.
Presently he is aware that there is
such a being in existence as a tax col
lector. and before long he recognizes
the fact that butchers must be attended
to, and that bakers are heaTtless enough
to expect money in return for their
wares also that dressmakerS do not
work for nothing and that milliners
have rights that must be recognized.
With such reminders it is not wonder
full that she who sang
Leave me not darling"
in voice full Of tremulous pleading, bids
fair to become an invcterate scold, or
that he wonders distractedly, If rest is
found anywhere, except under the
daisies. y St. Louis Magazine.

A Girl. a Boy. and a Cow.

About two years before the war. near
Il pretty and substantial residence n
beautiful young girl, about Il, was
sleeping in a. hammock swung from
two stately oaks in grove.
In q meadow to the rear fat. meek
eyed COW reclined in the shade. Across
the road from the house, the girl, and
COW, was a meadow, pathway running
through it, and coming up the pathway
was boy with gun.
When within 100 yards of the girl
and about 100 yards from the COW. bird
few up sailed in the air toward the
COW, and the boy fired at the bird, which
flew on Unhurt. but the COW received a
pretty strong dose of shot.
She Immediately arose in fright,
dashed through the grove, caught the
girl and hammock on her horns, and
rushed with her shrieking victim about
the lot. The terrified girl became
silent. and the crowd of relatives and
friends in pursuit thought that she was
dead.
Thewild fury Of the cow as she rushed
around soon tore the netting loose, and
the girl dropped unconsciously to the
ground, unhurt- She was picked up and
taken in the house, and on examination
only a few minor bruises were found.
The boy, thinking he was the innocent
cause Of the killing Of the young girl,
disappeared. All trace of him vanished.
It was thought that he had perished
by his own hand but about six years
after the war travel-stainCd stranger
was in the town inquiring for persons
most of whom had been swept away by
the war.
After a long search the stranger
learned where one of the parties he was
in search of lived, a few miles out of
town. He went there, made himself
known, and turned out to be the boy Of
the gun.
The people he found were father and
mother, who had mourned him dead for
eight years.
The boy had been in South America
got rich, and, yearning for the love of
the old folks, returned to the desOlated
home Of his childhood and made his
loved ones comfortable.
For the first time then hearing that
the girl was uninjured, he called on her,
found her pretty, good, and first-class
home woman. He put in with a WILL
got her heart as his own, and the old
folks consent, and has been for the last
twelve or fourteen years one of the
leading business men of this section.-
